  2. Glycemic load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_load

    The glycemic load (GL) of food is a number that estimates how much the food will raise a person's blood glucose level after it is eaten. One unit of glycemic load approximates the effect of eating one gram of glucose. [1] Glycemic load accounts for how much carbohydrate is in the food and how much each gram of carbohydrate in the food raises ...

  3. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    Since the density of dry air at 101.325 kPa at 20 °C is [9] 0.001205 g/cm 3 and that of water is 0.998203 g/cm 3 we see that the difference between true and apparent relative densities for a substance with relative density (20 °C/20 °C) of about 1.100 would be 0.000120. Where the relative density of the sample is close to that of water (for ...

    Measuring brix and percent acidity of a sudachi. Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of an aqueous solution. [1] One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the ...

    Intravenous sugar solution. Intravenous sugar solution, also known as dextrose solution, is a mixture of dextrose (glucose) and water. [1] It is used to treat low blood sugar or water loss without electrolyte loss. [2] Water loss without electrolyte loss may occur in fever, hyperthyroidism, high blood calcium, or diabetes insipidus.

    Inverted sugar syrup, also called invert syrup, invert sugar, [1] simple syrup, sugar syrup, sugar water, bar syrup, syrup USP, or sucrose inversion, is a syrup mixture of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, that is made by hydrolytic saccharification of the disaccharide sucrose. This mixture's optical rotation is opposite to that of the ...

  9. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    Acetic acid can never be truly water-free in an atmosphere that contains water, so the presence of 0.1% water in glacial acetic acid lowers its melting point by 0.2 °C. [ 9 ] A common symbol for acetic acid is AcOH (or HOAc), where Ac is the pseudoelement symbol representing the acetyl group CH 3 −C(=O)− ; the conjugate base , acetate ( CH ...
